This is interesting. I have run into a simular problem with Kdar on SUSE
10.0, On 12-19 Kdar worked fine, when I tried to back up /home it now tells
me /media/dvdrecorder is not under /home/user please remove it. Only
trouble it is auto set and greyed out.If I su or run kdar as root from the
run on kmenu it has the same result. I even uninstalled Kdar and am now in
process of reinstalling it.
Not sure what security updates I put on around the 20th od December. i will
try root log in today since I'm trying to back up home before install 10.2.
